PAST MEETINGS: Swans v Manchester City

Wilfried Bony scored on his return to the Liberty as Man City tightened their grip on second place in the penultimate match of the season.

Yaya Toure put the visitors in front after 21 minutes with his 50th Premier League goal, as a deflected strike beat Lukasz Fabianski at his near post, and James Milner doubled the lead with a neat finish after brilliantly stepping away from Neil Taylor's challenge.

The Swans were aiming to build on their highest Premier League finish and pulled one back before half-time when Gylfi Sigurdsson drilled home, while Bafetimbi Gomis completed the comeback after the break when he controlled Jazz Richards' long ball before firing past Joe Hart.

However, City found another gear and Toure restored the advantage when he powered past Fabianski, before Bony climbed off the bench to put the game beyond his former club with a cool finish in off the post.

SWANS: Fabianski, Richards, Fernandez, Williams, Taylor, Cork, Shelvey (Britton, 78), Dyer (Barrow, 73), Sigurdsson (Emnes, 83), Montero, Gomis.

MAN CITY: Hart, Zabaleta, Demichelis, Mangala, Kolarov, Toure (Bony, 85), Fernandinho (Kompany, 80), Milner, Lampard (Navas, 59), Silva, Agüero.

Aleksandar Kolarov scored the winner as Man City maintained their push for a second title in three years.

Fernandinho gave City the lead after 14 minutes when he drilled past Gerhard Tremmel through a crowded penalty area, but Wilfried Bony's header levelled the scores just before half-time.

Yaya Toure's deflected effort put the visitors back in front in the 58th minute, before a fierce drive from Kolarov gave Manuel Pellegrini's side breathing space.

Bony pulled one back in the first minute of stoppage time with a beautiful 25-yard strike, but the Swans were unable to rescue a point.

SWANS: Tremmel, Rangel, Chico, Williams, Davies, De Guzman, Canas, Shelvey (Pozuelo, 81), Hernandez (Lamah, 10), Bony, Routledge.

MAN CITY: Hart, Zabaleta, Kompany, Nastasic, Kolarov, Navas (Rodwell, 90), Toure, Fernandinho, Nasri (Milner, 70), Dzeko, Negredo (Garcia, 60).

Luke Moore's late header knocked Man City off the top of the table for the first time in five months.

The Swans were handed the perfect opportunity to take the lead inside the opening five minutes, but Scott Sinclair's penalty was well saved by Joe Hart.

Nevertheless, the home side were on top for the majority of the contest and scored what proved to be the winner seven minutes from time.

Moore had only entered the action four minutes earlier and he arrived unmarked in the area to head home Wayne Routledge's pinpoint cross.

City fought for the equaliser with the offside flag denying Micah Richards, but the hosts held on to take another huge three points in their Premier League debut season.

SWANS: Vorm, Rangel, Caulker, Williams, Taylor, Routledge (Monk, 87), Britton, Allen, Sinclair, Sigurdsson, Graham (Moore, 79).

MAN CITY: Hart, Richards, K. Toure, Savic, Clichy, De Jong (Johnson, 84), Barry (Aguero, 37), Nasri, Y. Toure, Silva (Dzeko, 87), Balotelli.
